Was very excited that a large playset toy with all sorts of extras added over the years, had sold for £155. Have seen some sell for about this over the years and some for less, figured it was the Christmas effect
Now very worried as I see that it has been bought and paid for by a ebayer in Mexico who only joined e-bay 2 days ago and has zero feedback.
I'm supposed to be sending it via the global shipping system but am worried that the whole transaction could go tits up if buyer decides item not as described or finds some spurious fault with it, e-bay/paypal might find in buyer's favour and I'd lose a fairly valuable/saleable item and some much needed Christmas funds. I don't know if I am responsible if it simply doesn't turn up to his address in Mexico for some reason and I'm wondering how ebay have worked out his shipping charges when they don't know the weight or dimensions of the parcel. He's paid £27.93 to them which doesn't seem a lot for a 5-10kg parcel of 0.6m x 0.5m x 0.2m to go all the way to Mexico.
What can I do to protect myself (should have prevented bidders with less than 10 feedback bidding I suppose) I have previously sent a large playset to Spain using the Global shipping system and another toy somewhere else, but both of those buyers had plenty of (good) feedback.
My instinct says to cancel his bid and offer to the next highest bidder who is UK based but I'll then surely get negative feedback from the Mexican.
